The setting can also be changed by selecting PLAY or CUE in the Setup menu CUE KEY item.

ªCue mode:

The cue point is set as the point where the unlit CUE key is pressed when the CD is paused or during scrub playback.

Press the CUE key while holding down the SHIFT key to display the current mode (PLAY or CUE) briefly. Change the mode by pressing the CUE key again while the mode is displayed.

NOTE

The CUE key lights when a cue point is set. When the mode setting is CUE, the key will flash during pause or scrub playback.

The cue point is canceled when the CD cover is opened.

Using and confirming the cue point

By pressing the CUE key once, you can pause play- back and jump to the cue point. If you press and hold down the CUE key again, playback continues from the cue point until you release the key.

The cue point can be confirmed using this function.

To resume normal playback, press the PLAY/PAUSE key during playback while holding down the CUE key.

Hot Cue

The CD-DJ1 has two HOT CUE keys (1 and 2) that allow you to set independent Hot Cue points. After a Hot Cue point has been set, pressing its HOT CUE key either starts or pauses playback at that point.

Use the Setup menu FLASH Start item to set whether HOT CUE keys start or pause playback (see “Flash Start” on page 17).

Setting Hot Cue points

Press an unlit HOT CUE key during playback, pause, or scrub playback. The Hot Cue point for that key will be set and the key will light up.
